The<\/strong> Sea of Kronos (Cronos), <\/strong>according to modern researchers such as Alan Alford<\/a> and Frank Joseph<\/a> as well as Immanuel Velikovsky<\/a>, is a name frequently applied to the Atlantic Ocean by ancient writers. Velikovsky cites Plutarch, Clement of Alexandria and Aristotle in support of this contention(a)<\/sup>. If Plato believed that Atlantis had been located in the Atlantic why did he not simply say that it was situated in the Okeanos or the Sea of Kronos?<\/p>\n

The 1624 Argonautica Map<\/em> by Abraham Ortelius<\/a> has the Adriatic Sea designated as ‘Cronivm Mare’. Eratosthenes<\/a> in his M<\/em>ap of the Oec<\/em>umene<\/em> referred to the frozen Cronian Sea as being seven days north of Britain. Diodorus Siculus<\/a> (Bk.III 61.3) describes Kronos as lord of Sicily<\/a>, Libya<\/a> and Italy<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Until it can be shown otherwise, I am inclined to think that Plato did not know precisely where Atlantis had been located but used the term \u2018beyond the Pillars of Herakles\u2019 as indicative of a place outside the ambit of what was common Greek maritime knowledge at that time!<\/p>\n

><\/span><\/strong>However, Plato was aware that Atlantean territory included part of North Africa, Southern Italy and some of the islands in that region (Tim 25a). Not only does this imply that, according to Diodorus, Atlantis was ruled by Kronos, but that the Pilllars were east<\/strong><\/em> of that realm!<<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
